I would like to purchase a minirhizotron for an experiment measuring roots. I believe that Bartz Technology Corporation is the primary (only?) company that makes the minirhizotron. Because minirhizotrons are expensive, I would like to see if anyone has a used minirhizotron that they are looking to sell. Please e-mail me ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) if you have a minirhizotron that you are looking to sell.
I had originally planned to take root photos using web cameras as has been described by some researchers, but I am having difficulties getting that to work. If anyone is conducting experiments where you are measuring root growth in clear tubes within soil with something other than a minirhizotron for the camera, I would also be grateful for information on how you are imaging the roots. Thank you, Meghann Meghann Jarchow Assistant Professor Sustainability Program Coordinator Department of Biology University of South Dakota (605)677-3115 (office)
